    Introduction

    The past two decades witnessed a remarkable increase in activity in the study of noise-driven escape from metastable states. Reactive processes take place while the system is undergoing interactions with its envi...

    Surmounting Fluctuating Barriers

    Escape over fluctuating barriers in the presence of thermal white noise is addressed. Several general results are established, for stochastic barrier fluctuations being controlled by colored Gaussian noise. Our f...

    Hop** and phase shifts in noisy periodically driven bistable systems

    We consider a periodically driven bistable system in the presence of fluctuations. In a number of recent papers it has been shown that the amplitude of the response of the noisy system to periodic modulations ...

    Lasers with injected signals: Fluctuations and linewidths

    We consider a single mode laser coupled with an external periodic field. The statistical properties of the laser field (photon statistics) are studied under the combined action of fluctuations due to spontaneo...

    Tunneling in a periodically driven bistable system

    The influence of periodic driving on coherent tunneling is investigated, using a quartic double-well potential in a monochromatic external filed as a working example. Extensive numerical studies of the long-ti...

    Path integral solutions for non-Markovian processes

    For a nonlinear stochastic flow driven by Markovian or non-Markovian colored noise ζ(t) we present the path integral solution for the single-event probabilityp(x,t). The solution has the structure of a complex-va...

    Non-Markov processes: The problem of the mean first passage time

    The theory of the mean first passage time is developed for a general discrete non-Markov process whose time evolution is governed by a generalized master equation. The mean first passage time is determined by ...
